New Trends in Non-Perturbative Gauge/String Theory and Integrability

Description

The workshop brings together experts working in diverse yet related corners of modern theoretical physics and mathematics inspired by Supersymmetric Gauge/String Theory, so as to promote new interdisciplinary collaborations and trigger new advances in seemingly distant areas. Most of the progress the field has witnessed in recent years was due to the development of exact investigation techniques, rooted in equivariant localization and matrix models. About 20 years ago, these methods led to the discovery of the BPS/CFT correspondence, a broad arena tightening together BPS observables, 2d CFT, operator algebras, quantum integrability and much more. The aim of the workshop is to discuss the latest developments along this vast research line and its ramifications, including the analysis of future perspectives and where it is heading to.
